To the Mum Who Does It All: Celebrating The Strength of SEND Mums
In this deeply honest episode of Inclusive Stories After Dark, host Brooklyn opens Season 2 with a love letter to every SEND mum parenting Autistic and ADHD children.
Speaking from her lived experience, Brooklyn reflects on the emotional weight many neurodivergent families carry. She speaks about the grief that often sits beside joy, the invisible labour of advocating for your child, and the emotional toll of doing it all while barely being seen.
This episode offers comfort, recognition, and gentle encouragement. For every mum raising a neurodivergent child who feels exhausted, unacknowledged or unseen—this one's for you.
Perfect for late-night listening when the house is finally quiet.
This episode is for you if you:
- Are parenting an Autistic or ADHD child
- Are navigating the SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) system
- Carry the emotional and mental load of your family
- Crave connection, validation, and a quiet space to be reminded you're not alone
Key Takeaways:
- Parenting Autistic and ADHD children brings both love and grief. Both are valid.
- SEND motherhood is often isolating and emotionally heavy.
- Your invisible work matters—even if others don’t see it.
- You deserve rest, recognition and real self-care.
- Celebrating yourself isn’t selfish. It’s necessary.
- Affirmations help reinforce your strength and self-worth.
- Your needs deserve to be heard—by your family and by yourself.
- The love you have for your child is powerful, even in hard seasons.
- You're not alone in this journey. There’s a whole community of mums like you
